Two are sporadically maintained, including the one in the picture. No markers are on any of the three graves, however, one to the right of this picture, also unmarked, belongs to Grace Ramsey. Born 1897, Died 1900. The buildings in the distance were built by Peter J. Schlosser, one of the founding fathers of the town. The main street runs roughly east and west in the bottom of Cat Gulch.
